After this period of war development, Bagan for the Ming Dynasty border army has been quite disdainful, he believes that the Han army is far more cowardly than imagined, encountered the Mongolian coalition army will only blindly retreat behind the city wall to defend the strict defense, no courage to face the battle at all, just let the Mongolian coalition army wreak havoc outside the city, even if the people outside the city are killed, do not dare to rescue.

In Bagen's view, as long as the border army of the Ming Dynasty did not have the courage to take the initiative to face the battle, even if the Mongol coalition army's action was not as rich as expected, there would never be too many injuries and accidents.

However, Bagen is cautious after all, and now the Mongolian coalition army is deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a risk of falling into encirclement at any time, so when the Mongolian coalition army attacked Jiezhou City, Bagen despised the Ming army for being cowardly, but also sent a large number of scouts to repeatedly probe within nearly 100 miles around Jiezhou City, monitoring all the movements of the Han army around Jiezhou City at any time.

Jibha was a centurion of the Dzungar tribe and was responsible for monitoring the movements of the Han army east of the city of Jiezhou.

As the scout leader of the Mongolian coalition army, Djibha is not only Bagen's henchman, but also a rare cautious and diligent and delicate person among the Dzungar tribes, and has always been serious and responsible for military affairs, but the Mongolian coalition army has now besieged the city of Jiezhou for several days, but the surrounding Han army is still cowering in their respective castles and does not dare to make the slightest move, and the cowardice is fully revealed, even Djibha's heart is inevitably bred some slack.

Today, a mentality like Djibha's is very common among the scouts of the Mongol coalition.

In fact, if the Han army had a little blood, it would be impossible for the Mongol coalition army to attack the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Han army had the intention to rescue Jiezhou City, it would have already made a move, and it was impossible to delay it for such a long time without any movement, so Jibha thought that the Han army everywhere was now just bent on self-preservation, and had no will to fight at all, and I am afraid that they would sit back and watch the fall of Jiezhou City.

If it was in previous years, Djibha's idea was not wrong, the former Shaanxi and Gansu sides were a plate of scattered sand, the trilateral governors were difficult to control the military towns in various places, and the general soldiers of the major military towns had extremely limited control over the military attaches under them. Not only is it necessary to lose the family's wealth, but if the war is unfavorable, it is also responsible, which can be described as thankless, and it is naturally not sensitive.

But this year's situation is different from previous years, since Zhao Junchen came to the Shaanxi and Gansu tripartite, he has used a tough and flexible hand to unify all the forces of the Shaanxi and Gansu tripartite, and the military attaches in various places no longer dare to support the army as before.

In the early morning of this day, the sky was still only dark, but Djibouti had already led the cavalry scout team under his command to set off in the direction east of Jiezhou City to spy on the movements of the Han army in this direction.

As always, Djibouti's scout squad traveled dozens of miles east, but still did not see any sign of Han movement.

As a result, the mentality of Djibouti and the scout cavalry became more and more slack.

In this scout cavalry team, Huslev is known for his bravery, and his relationship with Djibouti is relatively close, seeing that his team has not discovered any Han army movements for a long time, and then thinking of the repeated futile spying in the past few days, it is inevitable that he is a little impatient.

When the horse exploration team was resting for the time being, Huslev complained to Djibouti: "If you want me to say, the Han army is all eggless, and now that our army has entered the country, where will they have the courage to resist?" We have been spying eastward for three days in a row, and we have never seen any sign of the Han army wanting to support Jiezhou City...... In my opinion, we don't need to spy anymore, just go back and say that the Han army is still cowering in the castles everywhere, and Lord Bagen will definitely not doubt it! ”

After a pause, Huslev looked eager and said: "If we go back early, maybe we can catch up with today's siege battle, and when the time comes, we will kill some Han troops and make military achievements, and the future will be better, wouldn't it be better than running horses here in vain?" ”

Huslev is a well-known warrior of the Dzungar tribe, eager to make achievements on the battlefield, and he is already dissatisfied with being assigned to the scout mission.

As Huslef's words fell, several other scout cavalry responded.

"That's it, we came out before dawn, and now we've been running all morning, and we're already hungry, and the dry food is all fried rice that is hard to swallow, so it's better to go back early!"

"It's not that we haven't seen the Han army, and we definitely don't have the courage to fight with our Mongolian warriors, we're just wasting our strength in vain these days!"

"If you want me to say, Lord Bagan is too cautious, we must explore the movements of the Han army within a hundred miles of Jiezhou City, we have been leaving before dawn these days, and we can only return to the camp when the sky is dark and we can't see the road, and the brothers are already exhausted...... Among the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, I am afraid that we are the most fortunate! ”

……

Hearing the complaints of the horses under his command, Djibouti also thought deeply in his heart, but his face was solemn, and he said: "Lord Bagen's order naturally has his reasons, let's obey the order, do you dare to disobey the order?" ”

Bagen has never been soft on those who disobey military orders, and as Djibouti questioned him, all the detectives changed their expressions and did not dare to complain any more.

However, although they didn't dare to complain anymore, everyone's expressions were a little unconvinced.

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Djibouti's expression also slowed down slightly, and said: "What's more, in order to explore the movements of the Han army within a hundred miles these days, we have always been dark to go back, if we go back too early today, Lord Bagen will naturally guess that we secretly disobeyed the order, Lord Bagen has always been strict for this kind of thing, and now it is because of the unfavorable things of the siege, why should we touch the mold at this time?" Isn't it your own bad luck in the end? ”

After speaking, seeing that all the scouts had been persuaded by themselves, only Huslev was still unwilling, Djibouti said: "Huslev, I know that you are the most martial arts, only thinking about killing the enemy on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions, and some look down on the task of scouting horses, but now the siege war looks lively, but every time all ethnic groups attack the city, they are vigorous, but they will soon be forced back by the bows and crossbows and guns of the Han army, and how many Han soldiers have been killed for so many days?" As for the destruction of the city and the looting of the city is much earlier, if you want me to say, although we are not on the battlefield, we have more opportunities to make contributions than the army that is besieging the city! Although the Han army in various places is shrinking and defending, they often send probes to spy on the progress of the war in Jiezhou City, haven't we also encountered two groups of Han troops probing horses and killed four or five people in the past few days? If you kill a few more, are you still afraid that Bagan will not remember your military exploits? ”

At this point, Huslev was finally persuaded by Djibouti to no longer have any complaints.

Djibouti is Bagan's henchman, and he learns from Bagan in every move, and now he convinces everyone under his command to imitate Bagan's usual methods.

Seeing that all the explorers were convinced, Djibouti nodded with satisfaction, and was very satisfied with his learning results.

However, just when Djibouti was complacent, Huslev suddenly shouted, startling him!

I saw Huslev pointing to the east and shouting: "It's the Han people's Tanma!" It's a Han people's exploration horse! ”

With Huslev's shout, the rest of the people looked to the east, and sure enough, they saw four or five Han people exploring horses appearing half a mile away.

At this time, these Han soldiers also discovered the traces of Djibouti and others, and they all looked panicked, and they all hurriedly turned their horses' heads and fled towards the way they came.

Because of what Djibouti just said, Huslev was full of interest in intercepting and killing the Han army's horses, and when he saw the Han army's horses escaping, he didn't care about asking Djibouti for instructions, so he rode away on horseback.

With the drive of Huslev, the rest of the Mongolian scouts also rode after them.

Seeing the actions of Huslef and others, Djibouti was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything, and also rode his horse to chase away.

Intercepting the enemy's scouts and interrogating intelligence was originally one of their tasks.

In this way, after chasing for several miles, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and they were about to intercept and kill this Han army Tanma, but this Han army Tanma suddenly ran towards a hill not far away.

The Longnan region is the most complex, full of hills and ravines, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Junchen set the main battlefield here, the terrain here is not only to minimize the cavalry advantage of the Mongol coalition army, but also to help hide his own forces when encircling and intercepting.

A few days ago, Djibouti would have been suspicious and worried that it would encounter an ambush by the other side.

But because of the smooth sailing in the past few days, Djibouti is also slack, plus a few days ago when intercepting and killing the Han army to explore the horses, there has never been any accidents, Huslev and others are shouting, riding horses and galloping, there is no intention of stopping, so Djibouti did not think much about it, just quickly whipped the horse, and wanted to intercept and kill the Han army scouts as soon as possible to go back to receive merit.

However, what Djibouti didn't know was that behind this hill, there was a hundred-strong cavalry hidden at this time, and this cavalry was all from the new army of soldiers, not only well-equipped and powerful, but also brave and not inferior to the Mongol warriors!

When Djibouti and the others rode their horses into the hilly area, this cavalry that had been recuperating for a long time suddenly appeared and rushed towards them!

Seeing this sudden appearance of the Han cavalry, not only Djibouti's face changed drastically, but even Huslev, who has always been conceited and brave, was also in a panic, they could see that the Han cavalry in front of them was completely different from the Han army they usually encountered, even if it was the same strength, they might not be opponents, not to mention that now their strength is only one-tenth of the opponent's?

Therefore, the situation suddenly turned around, and Djibouti and others turned their horses around and wanted to escape.

However, the terrain here is complicated, which is not conducive to cavalry in the first place, not to mention that they have already consumed too much horsepower before this, how can they escape?

About a quarter of an hour later, the scouts, including Djibouti, were either killed or captured.

After the cavalry of the new army cleaned up the battlefield, the leading general ordered: "Continue to act according to the original plan, send three more squads to lead the enemy, and be sure to wipe out all the scouts and horses of the nearby Mongols!" ”

"Obey!"

As the general's words fell, all the cavalry present shouted their orders, full of fighting spirit!

And similar things are happening in Gongchang Mansion constantly!
